Baltimore Eviction Bill Aims for Fairness | Baltimore News

Baltimore’s new eviction bill could turn the tide for tenants, giving them up to seven days to reclaim belongings after being kicked out — a move designed to stop landlords from exploiting vulnerable renters by demanding ransom fees or discarding irreplaceable items like family heirlooms or ashes. With a federal court already striking down the city’s current abandonment law as unconstitutional and a class-action lawsuit looming, advocates say this reform is long overdue. Backed by Mayor Brandon Scott and facing pushback from some landlords, the bill aims to create a fairer, more humane eviction process that respects due process and helps people rebuild their lives without losing what matters most.
